The story of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy, two strong-willed characters struggling to understand their feelings for each other in a world governed by strict social rules, is one of the most enduringly popular novels in English literature. Two hundred years after the first publication of Pride and Prejudice comes a delightful retelling, which explores the circuitous courtship of the protagonists in more depth. Narrated in the original style, it grants a voice not only to the beloved, assertive heroine, but to other characters as well, delving deeper into backstories left unexamined in the original. Forced to contend with their diverging dispositions, the quick-witted protagonists gradually recognise that first impressions can be deceiving. With the feel of a true Regency novel, but new scenes and some surprising plot twists, Pride and Circumstance is a perfect comfort read for loyal Austen fans and first-time readers alike
